Viewings by Appointment
Perfect for lovers of well-built Swedish yachts, blending performance, comfort, and safety—comparable to Najad, Hallberg-Rassy, Moody, Westerly, or Wauquiez models.
Puzzle Marin, founded in the 1980s by former Hallberg-Rassy shipwrights, shares the same meticulous craftsmanship—evident in the teak decks, interior woodwork, and robust construction.
This 1985 Puzzle 36 is a true bluewater cruiser, offering speed under sail, comfort, and self-sufficiency. With a length of 10.93 m, 3.5 m beam, and >1.9 m headroom, it rivals the livability of much newer yachts.
